Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of Western European wireless network evolution. It begins with a discussion the approaching convergence of the Internet and data applications with wireless technologies. Basic mobile wireless telephony systems are explained, including current digital standards, as a foundation for the discussion. The paper then traces recent international efforts to define a harmonized migration path towards high-speed wireless systems, as outlined in the IMT-2000 program of the International Telecommunication Union. At the heart of the paper is a cost model for deploying upgraded wireless systems in Europe. Three versions of the model are presented, representing second-generation, third-generation, and transitional phase technologies, and their resulting capital and operating cost estimates are compared. The paper also presents various scenarios involving combinations of these models, providing more insight into specific deployment strategies that operators may develop....
